PC gaming behemoth Valve has been fined $3 million AUD (2.2 million USD) by the Australian federal court for lack of an appropriate refund policy for its digital gaming storefront Steam between 2011 and 2014.

PC Gamer obtained a copy of the private Early Access guidelines for developers on Valve’s Steam platform, which makes clear Early Access titles are as much a gamble as you thought, and Valve knows it as well as you do.

PC gaming digital distribution service Steam changed its refund policy this week to grant gamers two weeks to return items, for any reason, as long as they have not been played for more than two hours, but game developers disagreed on whether this would help or hurt the industry.
